Someone in another post says Root & Bloom are closing their cultivation. Word on the street is Trade Roots is closing their doors on all operations this week.

2025 will be the year of massive closings and layoffs in the Massachusetts cannabis industry. What other rumors do we hear of companies who are in danger of closing?

I think Live Rosin is the future! Do you have a favourite brand?

Not bad at all for $20 an eighth at Union Twist

Packaged by Buds Goods. Some insanely purple bud, especially ground up, but unfortunately not as terpy as I’d like

MASS CCC must protect cannabis workers!

I had an awful experience at Apothca Arlington. They staff are very rude and their prices are ridiculous. I got charged $110 for 7 grams. It was listed as 14g when I ordered online. After I walked out of the store I saw I was given two 3.5g packs. I immediately walked back in and tried to explain it was listed as 14g online. They talked over me and kept saying "no refund" which I understand but this was an issue and was trying to get help. They were so rude and asked me to leave. Which I did not do I was trying to get them to help me. They threatened to call the police because I wouldn't leave. A male employee picked up my purse and the 7g of flower I bought abs threw them outside to get rid of me. That's how they treat a long time customer. There are much better dispensaries in the area with better customer service and prices. I really like Ayr and Eskar.

Picked up some Berry Blizzard today. Very impressed

Was wondering if anyone in the Fall River area had some connections with someone who makes rso. My mom is currently dealing with cancer and had been taking rso that seemed to be helping her but the guy I was getting it from isn’t in the area anymore. I’ve been picking up RSO from different local dispensary’s and nothing seems to be helping. She is not a medical card holder! Any tips or advice Is much appreciated!

I see canna provisions doesn’t seem to sell them anymore. Are there any options ideally in the Springfield area?

This happened a few days before the illegal disappearance of Rumeysa Ozturk. A gentleman came into my location and volunteer that he worked for “The department of homeland security”. Which if any govt official tells you this, they are hiding their real agency under the DHS umbrella. He was interested in tinctures to put in their coffee because, and I quote “they have a 12hr drive to Louisiana and I want them to be blasted”. I will omit other details but that is what stuck out to me.

It was only after hearing in the last day or so that Ozturk was shuffled around to NH and VT then eventually to LA that it all clicked. Be safe out there fellow stoners. And if anyone gives you reason to suspect you should not sell to them, take it serious and refuse the sale. Govt officials using quasi-legal (in the federal sense) cannabis to dose people they abduct off the street as a form of control, that goes against everything I got into this industry to accomplish and is a literal form of tyranny.

In my opinion it is very good for the price. I was pleasantly surprised. From smyth cannibus would definitely buy more again. The company that made it is cultivators classic

First time w sweetgrass. Says 6% total terps but doesn't provide breakdown. Id to find that lab report. Also first time w this strain Leafly named Super Boof as its Strain of the Year for 2024, a hybrid strain created by San Diego breeder Blockhead, a cross between Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies

This is the replacement oz I got for my moldy CAC (will not ever buy them again) smells like straight lemon pine doesnt really have much of a taste not sure what the terps are on here or any of those % so if anyone has that info please lmk but really clean smoke and when it does get a tasteful hit it tastes just how it smells which is really nice. The full oz was huge fluffy buds most weighing +- 2g but the trim job seems rough with a lot of leaves left on ever nug. The high isnt too strong but relaxing and slightly uplifting like a sense of relief. Anyway shoutout The Hempest for making this replacement easy as possible and all the employees for being helpful and informative.

been smoking a lot of zkittlez crosses was cool to try something different

Hi I’m looking for solid recs on safe and high quality live resin vapes for medical needs.

Ideally it’s low(er) in THC and has some amount of CBD or other good cannabinoids and terpenes.

Main areas I can easily get to: Newton, Watertown, Waltham

Appreciate the help in advance.

Sold out online. Brand new sealed. Asking $50.

Absolutely 0 complaints for the price and in comparison, has a decent flavor for only .8% terps and has the perfect moonsand grind with minimal leaves in it and crazy amounts of kief, it is good pre ground not shake. I can't believe this shit is on the market for the same price as some of these companies selling 100% dried fan leaves that aren't even ground as shake 🤣. Yes I'm aware of their shitty business practices too 🤣.

Been taking the trip up to great Barrington to stock up on flower for the past few years. However, the quality of NY rec has seemed to improve immensely over the past few months. I can get some of the best bud I've ever smoked for like $50 an eighth in NY. Looking for flower suggestions in the great Barrington area around the $25-$30 mark that would make the trips up there still worth it.

Guys check out S.83 on the MA Legislator website! Finally some clarity and modernization to the medical program! Contact your legislators today!

Summary from ChatGPT:

Bill S.83, titled “An Act to modernize Massachusetts medical marijuana program,” introduces several amendments to Chapter 94I of the General Laws aimed at enhancing the state’s medical marijuana framework. Key provisions include:

1.  Expanded Definition of “Card Holder”: The bill broadens this definition to encompass individuals with valid patient registrations from any U.S. jurisdiction, thereby facilitating access for out-of-state patients.

2.  Operational Flexibility for Treatment Centers: It removes the mandate for medical marijuana treatment centers to simultaneously cultivate, process, and dispense marijuana, allowing for more specialized operations.

3.  Elimination of Capital Requirements: The legislation abolishes the necessity for applicants to demonstrate significant initial capital resources—previously set at $500,000 for initial licenses and $400,000 for subsequent ones—making entry into the medical marijuana industry more accessible.

4.  Fee Adjustments and Social Equity Exemptions: The bill caps registration and license fees for medical marijuana treatment centers at $1,000 and exempts social equity businesses from these fees, promoting inclusivity within the industry.

These proposed changes aim to modernize the Massachusetts medical marijuana program by enhancing accessibility for patients and reducing financial and operational barriers for providers.
